Wrong glass, Sir.
Didn't Woody get wind that he was engaging in shady shit on the recruiting trail and fire him in a hotel lobby on a road trip? If that's correct that's right up there with getting Kiffin'd on a tarmac.

This all may be true. However, the Irish started 2-0 against the Buckeyes when @BB73 was like 32 years old and they had a really good time consuming drive in the national championship. Did you ever consider that?

I have misplaced my pants.
Yep.
1995 - Eddie and Terry Glenn running all over them.
1996 - I think this was an early lead, where the Irish came back and made it close-ish.
2005 Fiesta Bowl - Ohio State set a record of most yards Notre Dame ever gave up.
2015 Fiesta Bowl - Lopsided game until Bosa was ejected for targeting. Notre Dame's offense picked up after that.
2022 - Stroud struggled for a little bit and then receivers started to get open.
2023 - Close game came down to the last play.
2024 - I don't remember this game at all. What happened?

I’ve been pissed at the Irish since St. Patrick got rid of the snakes. The rodent problem got a lot worse then, but Paddy always did like his gerbils.
It should be called an Irish rat trap, but it’s easy to blame the Dutch for anything.

I thought this was all metaphor for "slaughtered the Druids" -- well except the rat trap thing, which I'm pretty sure was the Dutch in Ireland.

Former Notre Dame Head Coach Lou Holtz Fires Another Shot at Ryan Day’s Ohio State: “They're Not a Great Football Team”
Lou Holtz took his third public shot at Ryan Day's Ohio State in as many seasons on Wednesday after the Buckeyes beat No. 1 Texas: “They're not a great football team.”
Former Notre Dame Head Coach Lou Holtz Fires Another Shot at Ryan Day's Ohio State: “They're Not a Great Football Team”
Ryan Day and Lou Holtz might have beef again.
Ohio State defeated then-No. 1 Texas 14-7 on Saturday to claim the top spot in both of college football's major polls, smothering Texas' offense and stopping them short on four separate fourth-downs. But Holtz, a former Notre Dame head coach and ESPN personality, wasn't impressed.
"I don't think Ohio State's a great football team," Holtz said. "I know they're schedule is very, very good, but when you're at home and you're outgained by well over 100 yards, you just can't look at it and say, 'OK, we're great. We won the game.' Everybody looking in, they are 1-0, and that's the objective they had going into that game. But they're not a great football team. I would not be overwhelmed about facing Ohio State."
The Longhorns did outgain the Buckeyes 336 yards to 203 in total offense over the weekend, but to call the defending national champions who just defeated the preseason No. 1 “not a great football team” seems a bit far-fetched. Day also emphasized both in his postgame press conference and his weekly meeting with the media on Tuesday that Ohio State kept a conservative game plan and relied on its defense to win the game, though he does want a more explosive offense going forward.
“I can't sit up and say to you guys that the number one goal is to just win (and be disappointed) – if it's 14-7, we have to be really, really excited about that,” Day said Tuesday. “The number one thing was to win the game. We wanted to establish an identity in terms of playing physical; I think you saw that. I think guys played hard in this game. I thought there was a physicality to the game. The execution's got to improve. We need to be more explosive on offense, for sure.”
This is the third time in the past three seasons that Holtz has fired a shot at Ohio State. Famously, in 2023, before the Buckeyes played at Notre Dame, he went on the Pat McAfee Show and stated Ohio State wasn't physical or tough enough to beat the Fighting Irish, which led to a famous NBC interview with Day after the Buckeyes won 17-14 in South Bend.
